Lydia, it was actually nice to "revisit" some of my cards when I did my final rechecking this morning as suggested. A big thanks to you and the other Splitcoaststamper-ettes for making this wonderful event happen

I got my box of cards mailed out Priority Mail on Tuesday - so happy to have them on their way! Wish I would have taken a pic, but I was in a hurry. It's so fun to see the photos of cards spread out in all their glory! This has been so rewarding - so pleased to have been able to play and to complete each wonderful challenge.

On another note, I did PM scrapbooknut1 about her links not working in the Queens thread (post 37). Did anyone else? I hope she sees it and gets it corrected! She indicates she is a cancer patient herself in her siggy line, so it would be even more unhappy if she is disqualified from the prize drawings.

Well, I just uploaded the last card I could get finished for this years challenge. I wasn't able to finish 2 of the challenges. I just ran out of time. I was away for a week and then I was sick for a week. So that put me so far behind. I work feverishly the past week and managed to complete 34 of the challenges.

Yes, I pmd her also...and read her siggy...it would be sad to be disqualified and I see that the link is now locked ...

The reward isn't suppose to be the prizes...but...I am human and would be glad to win from any one of the sponsors...

Just a heads up everyone - the queens thread and the HYCCT gallery will close in a little less than two hours.

CHECK ALL YOUR CARDS BEFORE THEN - BE SURE THEY ARE IN THE HYCCT 2013 GALLERY - They will not be counted with just the keyword!

Then post in the queens thread if you're eligible before noon central!

Then you have a few days to play in our daily challenges while we get our reports together!

I thought it was 11:59 PM, that's what the FAQs says! I just hopped on to upload my last card before work & was getting a that directory doesn't exist message so popped over here to see what was up! Really!? sniff, sniff. I finished it around 2am, took pics but figured I had till about midnight, well, 9pm with the time difference.

Someone had even asked about the challenges saying noon but FAQs saying midnight & the reply was midnight (#80 & #81). Dang. Well, I know I finished all the challenges. And this place is a disaster area. Now I have a few more minutes (no queen posting) before I need to run off to work to walk the dog, who's been letting me know I've neglected her these past 2 weeks

Sigh, now maybe tonight I'll have time to peruse the galleries and get to bed before 3am! ♥

Well, the good news is that I'm going to have a really clean kitchen when all is said &done but it has been a long haul! I still have a few cupboards to finish up. The laundry room was bug free! I still went through all the shelves & did a good clean out. Still have the closet &undersink in both laundry room &kitchen to go. Ugh it feels like it will never end &I didn't sleep well last night. I will have earned some stamping time this wknd for sure!
DH is shopping for a new laptop &then I'll inherit his old one. Meanwhile I'm making do with my Nook so I'm not in the gallery much-too hard to see &touchscreens aren't my friend.

Hi all you crafty people! I just stamped every envelope to make them prettiful, found a new pink Hawaii breast cancer awareness pen (had my mammo 2 weeks ago) to include with the altered notepad, and carefully placed each card with matching envelope into cellophane bag (40 cards), then gently packed into Priority Mail Box - Yahoooooeeeeeee! I am so done! Stick a fork in me finished :* And off to Texas it goes ♥ It was great for me to taste completion in this first HYCCT playground for me and thanks for letting me participate ♥ Aloha everyone!

Thanks to the extended deadline, I was able to get 4 more cards done! I counted them after that, and I actually got 20 done out of the 36 challenges. If I hadn't been ill in the middle of the month I could have gotten them all! Well, that will be my goal for next year

Thanks to everyone who had a part in this wonderful challenge!

Well done everyone for all of your small and queenie efforts, it's so great to be part of something that shares the creativity and love, just like it has no bounds!

So true,i had a most rewarding experience making the cards & using everything instead if it just sitting on a shelf & learning so much just by seeing such beautiful creations in the gallery. Hopefull my cards got to the Mater Foundation on friday. Cheers

packing up my cards to hit the PO tomorrow while I'm out and about... going to spend my lunch today cruising the gallery...talk about eye candy and fabulous ideas that will get my creative juices going for making holiday cards!!!

Yay!!!! I'm so happy....my package just took off from doo-dah headed to Houston. I can't wait to see mail room pics from Houston again this yr....I didn't count how many Aussie's we had playing along but with those of us sending extra cards, I'm sure we covered that amount so that the full gallery count and more will be headed down..... And I hope Edna checks in with a total count of the ones going to Brisbane too...

I'm also happy because:

I didn't use any new papers unless had nothing that would work, instead used from the scrap box so those 2 bins now actually fit in their cubby!!

I went through all the stash pulling out cards here and there to add to my pile and ended up with 95 cards and 3 altered notebooks. And boxes that now can be looked through to find a card without splitting the sides of the box, and have room for more cards that I won't get mailed.
Doing these challenges I've used lots of stamps I had never used, and while working my way through my binders to find stamps, found that I mostly like the way I have them separated so I can now start stamping reference sheets for each page.

I've learned that I can actually do CAS cards without a panic attack at all that white space

I learned that I really can do 6-7 cards in a 24 hr period.....Bring it on DTGD....I will get it all done next time.

And I'm really really happy because I didn't have to pay for shipping. When I took my box into PO, the gals asked me where this box was going (thinking Iraq or Afghanistan) and when I told them they were full of questions and about passed out when I told them that there would likely be over 5,000 cards going down. One of the gals is a survivor and she insisted on paying my postage and then came around the counter and gave me a big hug. She said to say thanks to all your "stamping friends" too.

I can actually see the carpet under the table again to see what color it is

And I'm really happy that Holly has hot chocolate and fresh cookies for the non-queens picnic...I heard whispers that there were snicker-doodles...yummy...me looooove snickers...

I just have to agree with everything you said and add: I can do it in the stifling heat and humidity of Hawai'i's warmest time of year, by working a bit in the morning, and after the sun goes down, lots of fans on, and several cool showers during the day. Congrats to everyone to played, whether a little or a lot!!!!

I don't know about the rest of you, but as I read through everyone's accomplishments and see the beautiful cards for HYCCT, I feel choked up and teary-eyed. Does anyone else?

It was my first time participating, just like many of you. It was a month-long difficult race to participate in, learn, keep up, and especially finish. The 3 cards on the last day felt like I tripped over a speed bump LOL. Wasn't expecting that! But like Sheri said, I feel much stronger to meet challenges.

Thank you to everyone who left me those sweet, encouraging comments on my cards. It truly helped me emotionally to keep on going. You all are great people and I am enjoying learning your names and personalities.

So, thank you again to everyone, and to all who work behind the scenes to make SCS and HYCCT fly!

Well, I just uploaded the last card I could get finished for this years challenge. I wasn't able to finish 2 of the challenges. I just ran out of time.

Now I have to get them ready for mailing.

Good for you Mary in getting that many done. I was sick with a sinus thing for part of October also. The creativity just wasn't there for awhile. But remember that every single one of your cards will bless someone.

Now, I'm catching up on Christmas (CCC13) cards. Uploaded two sets today. Two more to go.

My envelope arrived at 11:12 AM TODAY at MD Anderson!!!! Yipee...I've never done this before...and didn't expect to have such emotion to be included among you ladies on SCS...thanks for allowing me to play with each of you...
